If the arrow is parallel to or pointing away from land, the wave height is likely to be lower on the beach than it is offshore.

The arrow shows the average direction of the waves 1-2 miles out to sea. Lifeguards can give you advice on waves if you’re planning to go into the water. A long wave period (more than 10 seconds) means the waves at the beach may be more powerful. This is the average number of seconds between one wave and the next, 1-2 miles out to sea.

The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time. The letters show the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass). The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more. Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak and lull. This gives you a better idea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time.

This number shows the air temperature for the time period. Temperatures on Tuesday get close to 80 degrees before storms arrive, and drop into the mid-60s by Wednesday.Chance of precipitation represents how likely it is that rain (or other types of precipitation, such as sleet, snow, hail and drizzle) will fall from the sky at a certain time. As that front works southeast on Tuesday, we're monitoring the potential of another round of severe storms that could carry over into early Wednesday morning. An active pattern sets up yet again next week, with a stalled front bringing a chance for a few storms Monday night. The end of the weekend is warmer as we bounce back to about 70 degrees on Sunday. Saturday is breezy and cooler behind the front as temperatures dip into the low to mid-50s for highs. Non-thunderstorm gusts could reach 50 mph Friday night into Saturday morning. Strong winds will increase as the front passes east, as a Wind Advisory goes into effect by early afternoon. Storms will have the potential of producing 60+ mph winds, quarter to golf ball size hail, and a few tornadoes. If storms develop, it will be along and ahead of a cold front that will move west to east, bringing storms to our area between about noon and 7:00 p.m. Morning cloud cover could limit the ability for storms to initiate, but if we get enough clearing, there will be plenty of instability for storms to feed off and intensify across Mid-Missouri in the late afternoon. EXTENDED: A Weather Alert Day goes into effect at noon on Friday for the potential of severe storms.
